I have a set of 15*8 American Racing Wheels with 3 1/2" backspacing.
How can they be offset to get an xtra inch of backspacing as the steering is very limited with the 36*12.5"
Any info about cutting and reverse welding?
Thanks

Jay,
I just ordered a set of 1.25" alum. spacers for the Defender in Dubai, I'll fit them and let you know about them...
Been hearing a LOT about these, mainly negative, but wanted to try them myself and see if they survive with my abuse...you know that I usually test things out and decide on my own

Personally I don't like wheel spacers, especially aluminium ones.
A properly modified wheel is much safer and better. The usual procedure is to grind away the welds and move the rim outer on the centre by the required amount. Depending on the rim, the centres may need to be flipped. For example, on a disco steel rim you can get 15mm of extra offset before you have to flip the rim - and once flipped the minimum is 30mm extra offset.

How much space max can you move out isn't the outer rim usually welded slighlty before the center of the rim?
Re welding any tips of how to go with it so that it is completely safe.
Thanks

It depends on the particular rim and the rim design. Disco steel rims have a center which curves inwards where it meets the rim.Jay wrote:

Although I am a competent welder and trust myself to do critical welds, I paid a professional to do my rims, so I knew they would be as safe or safer than the factory items.
